Gotbgie.O. T.. April 2o The
opera bouse was picked lul sight at
the call of tho citizen's meetiag to
beer tho report" of the different eorn-
anitiees wbiob bate iiejo- at week on
securing tbo H. O- Q. and Mayor Mat
tin railroads. A coraraitUe of the
v board eonsiitiag of President Spar-
JPnre delegated to take charge of the
Taseetinp. Mr. Speogel waa chairman
of tho taectuigau.1 before introducing
other speakers gave it obtsct. He
taid that while of necessity much of
the work of the committee had to be
aeoret, yet it waa felt that a report
should be made to the oiticeaa of thair
etswartahip, as there were ao eeorata
fo be kept from any citizen, all being
alike anxioua to secure the two rosds
He then read the written proposition
of the H. O. Gr. road, which asked for
the right-of-way into the city froa)
the north, down Sixth etreet; depot
grounds on Harriaon avetwav weet of
the Sauta Fe depot, and the clearing
end bridging of the atreet aoroae the
i Cottonwood, weet half of the H. H.
Hsgsn farm.-aorth of' the Wert Side,
for oar shops, and $100,000 in bonis
For the afwtia road the oity had al
ready made a a an propieiHeaawtan
amount in paoperty and' the right-of-way.
BIr. Speogel aaid that the com
mittoa bad been very mufch encour
aged bd far in their work and- bad met
with entbuaiaatio support and' liberal
gifte everywhere. He aaid that what
was wanted1 by the meeting waa to im
press the citizens- with neoaasity of
getting both of thoio roada and to
bow tUeni that whatever they gave
they would get ten tituss the amouut
given. The meu behind the roads had1
test capital; and the auouriog of them
imply wean that Guturie will ba
the commercial ueoter of tho Bonth
Weet, and eaaily a oity withiu a few
yesrs of 50,000 inhabitants. Erery
man who' bad three lota could afford
to give on; who baa Bra, two, io rata
iag the funds.
Mayor Martin waa nest called for,
and ha gate the history of the project
of the Kansas, Oklehoml Central A
Southwestern. He aaid- the road waa
now in the hands of St. Lome capital
ists who had money to go on with the
work and were now negitiating with
tS'oglish capitaliils, to build the road.
He aaid that be woold Dot eey rle
Mjssburi Paaiflo waa behind the St,
LouiecapiUturis, but tba soma of the
individuate of the road' were. The
rosdwae declared by Senator Berry,
when congreea granted the charter, to
Uooaeof (fee best railroad sobemas
proposed. It tapped Tens where
seven buad red thousand bead of cattle
were shipped yearly aud would make
Guthrie 150 miles nearer St. Louis.
English money, tho mayor aaid, is
for iaveetment, if it can feel sore of
a "neurity, as it brings a verysmalj.
per cent at home. In order to get
tbia road tbe oitizena most give joataa
'liberally aa posaiblo ie right-of-way,
property and money -eod on that
depended largely whether or not mon
y could be aeourad to build it. The
right of-way through Oklahoma pro
per aiuat be donated to tbe company,
ee it will have to pay for through tko
Indian country. The mayor aaid that
the road waaaeauretobebaUtaaenj
thing in this world that bad not bean
dona. He aaid ha would not tall the
peopla of this city what it meant to aw
cum tbe Kansas, Oklahoma Central1
atd Southwestern and tba H. &, G.
roads. His only interest in the road
of which bo waa president waa tba

talk. He la boa of the committee se
ouring rigbt-ot way for the Mirtio
road; and aaid that fourteen mites
northeast of the city hid already been
donated by the fanners. Tbey ware
all enthusiastic over the road and
gave deed f r tbe rbzbt of way with
ont eyea asking if tbe road will go
fight through thair houses. Today
there will be a meeting at Dobeon'n
school boose wbea the right will be
secured all the way to Payne oonnty:
lie explained that what parsons gave
for securing these two roada they did
not give to the roada, they gave for
eolf benefit. Ho wanted' tbe roads
and waa working fur tboni becattso to
secure them meant increase of value
to bis property aud taauey t) him.
The road would pay over 25,090' a
year in taxa in Logan county, which
woold diminiah tbe taxes of every far
mar, Ifr. Irlsley compared the com
mercial importance of Kennaa Oity and
abowsd that Leavenworth, Kansas,
bad lost it because at a given- tiuro she'
would not give aid to' railroads'. To
get these roada would simply secure
the futare greetuesi of Guthrie. The
H. O. G, alone wonld increase the pay
role $76,000 a month. He showed
bow it wonld give a market for our
fruit and grain. He waa confident
the people of Gathrie would raised the
amounts necessary.
Horace Hagan, who owna tbo farm'
which is wanted by the H O- Q., was
the next to' apeak. Ha said ha be
lieved in railroa h. otbin ao de
velops' new countries as railroads:- A
modern' man cannot live without
them He aaid a capitaliat in Topeka ,
for whom ha had loaned over $20,000
in Lagan county, wurin the city this
week,-and that he would' make no
loans' off of a railroan. Money and
bneioese go with railroadr. The
amount Guthrie was reqnirod to give
Aw; roads waa nothing. It would get
it back simply in tbeinnreua of bu-
aeeauwrinatbe timoof building tbe
roada, ab'say aotbimr of tbe perman
ent benefit. Sedalia. M)-, has bonded
herself for $3'000'003. He cited dead
Kansas towns in- the early history
because they did not give liberally to
get riilroads, whan another town
took- them away from' tboov Other
citiea in Oklahoma bad their eves on
these rovls, if Gathrie did- not want
them'. Hw foroae wjuld share his
proportion of the expinso of .getting
the roads; as bo bad uverylhiug be
owned right) here, and' bir prosperity
depended u the prosperity of Gntbrie.
J. W. MuNeal was called apou to
give mora folly tbo work done by the
different oommltteos. Tba rigbt-of
way to Payee county waa virtually
aeoarrd for the Martin road,- Mon
day next a meeting will be held to
asoure algbt-of way toward El Beao.
This much was done,- and' tho right
of-way through Oklahoma can un-
donbtlediy be giveu tbo company
free. This alone is considered to be
a gift of $1!,000 a mile. Tbe machine
abbp'grounda for the H. Ol. G. bavo
virtually been arranged- for. Tbe
citizsns should be liberal. This road
would touob the salt works at Hutch
iesoa on tbe north' and coal mince
within ninety milea to tbe sontbest
Tba road' will oompeta with New
O'rleanrfor tbo market of tho world
for our cotton; wheat and produce aV
the Golf. All tbe wheat of western
Kansas will go over Ibis road instead
of going east. Every acre of land in
Logan county will increase $10 iu
value By getting tbeae roada.
Through tlieta Gothrio .would make
a least 10,000 inhabitants.
IV; J . Barker, of Crasent Oity, Was
present and made a talk. He had
always biieo for' Guthrie. Crasent
Oity wanted' the read also and iu poo
pie wonld help get the right of-way
for it. Bethought what Oklahoma
needed most now waa work for its la
boring people. Tbe buiUibgcf these
two road'nteana the expenditure of a
million dollars in Logan county alonr.
The meeeioe shops kern will employ
ouu moots, us expected to raise
1,000 bushels of peeobee this year aod
wanted a market for them. 1 look
ad opon Gntbrie as the future great
capital of Oklaaoma

would lose it. He expected snmnday
to see a raagoifioeot capitol building
sit on tie hill bote. Mr. Tucker
said he waa n citizan of Atchison,
Kan., wbsrr tbe Santa Fe road Waa
proje'ete I, and that city had not then
half tho wealth Gathrie bae, yet it
waa the mvana of bnihlin one of tbe
groatewt lines of railroad in tba world
City Attorney B. T Hiner was
called' upon to talk the legaity of rait--iag
certain funds; and aaid that while
the committee h.ciogtbe matter in
charge aud not yet reported their
decision, it was not policy to state
their opiniou; but ho thought thore
would bo no trouble in raisins' tbo
necessary funds when- tho sohetue
for1 this purpose shall be prcsontod.
The question of raising money for
these roads was for the people to
rree the money, like wbea Garnt was
ssked whether it was legal to resume
apiae payment. Ho aaid the way to
resume is to resume. IOverybod
taould be willing to pay bis prorata
and the moooy oaft bo raised.
Great entbusasm was bhown daring
the meeting and in going out every
one was' heard to remark that the
roada are anro to be built add hoi
wonld do hie auare of aidiog their

WrcniTA EiatEt Yesterday .Todge
Stanloy, who lives near the Antelope
bill?, in Oklahoma, was in tbe city.
He ia a typioal pioneer: aud a man of
considerable ability and force of ohar
acter. The judge aays that the onlv
pubjact discussed down in his neigh
borhood is that big cattle lease' to
Dau Waggoner, of Decature, Texas,
rbe people in my oountrv." said the
judge, "regard the action of Gover
nor Ueofrow aa aomethiog that ueeda
a whole lot of explanation'. Ha
promised the home cattlemen that
when the leasee were being negotia
ted for he wonld aive them a hnW to
take it: instead of dbibg so, be let i
to a stranger from Texas, evidently
became ho was from a deniocrafic
stronghold, and had influence. Our
cattlemen; are hot and yon will hear
from' then! later. My prediction is
thst when Dan Wsggoner brims his
cattle in and noes to- nnlnari tliam i
that tnere will be serious trouble and
tbloodahed. Our people are consid
erably worked op over the mattsr, I
tell yoa Ton may not believe it. but
it iff a faot, nevertheless, that every
cowboy m our country nuderatandr
What he has a Winchester for.- anrV
more than that no more cbwubya will
be hired who' are not' willing to fight
to keep out intruders on tbe rights'
of' their bosses. This is no bluff; tbe
cattlemen of western1 and' southwest
ern Oklahoma have fbelr War paint
on, and you will bear from them."
Will Bolton, of woodwafd, editor"
of the livestock paper, was meri
about what Judge Stanley aaid, and
ne said: "1 know the oattlemen in
our country are very indignant, but
I do not know whether their Indigna
tion will culminate in bloodshed:
That tbey think, aod1 tbe peoole
think, they have been treated badly
'there, is no doubt. They were Ig
nored in the lease; and stranger
aooepted- and- tbey relish it by no
means"'
